Initial Design of Very Light Jet with Unconventional Arrangement

摘要

Current trends in the design of very light jet aircraft have shown that in order to be economically viable and competitive, it is essential to improve the aircraft performance and operational flexibility goal, but still have an efficient cost. The application of unconventional configuration has attracted the designer to achieve that goal. This paper discusses the prospective unconventional arrangement which will be applied for very light jet aircraft. The existing Very Light Jet configuration is reviewed. New concepts of unconventional configuration for this type of aircraft are considered. The three-surface configuration is then proposed for this design project. The design process covered by this paper is only concentrate on initial design. The data from this paper can be continuing in future for the next step of design.
